The passive voice, not just for dead Palestinians anymore!
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

I have some doubts too, given that Greenblatt was cool with Musk's sieg heil.
A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.
“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

It's great when he reminds the GOP that as they grovel and genuflect, he absolutely will never have their backs.
Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

Did not expect this, but mad respect for our Hasidish brothers.
BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews.
In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

Finding out Platner had this sordid shit in his past was massively deflating. I'll never "yeah, but" it. It seems crucial to me that he doesn't "yeah, but" it either.
This is so far from what he actually says it seems deliberately bad faith.

Nope. Keep doing injunctions. Make them strike it all down. Even if just to fuck with them.
I mean what on earth are district court judges supposed to do at this point other than get the message from SCOTUS to let Trump do whatever he wants to no matter what the law says.

Also curious, if less well known: Why is Anne-Marie Slaughter advising on Domestic Policy?
So, why is Jake Sullivan shaping domestic policy for the next Democratic Administration. Who is happy with the Biden foreign policy legacy? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/30/u...

This is almost as stupid as Susan Rice running the DPC. That's still the perfect 10.0.

Malika is a rock star but it's KG with the Wolves on that set. Stephen A is the Joe Smith Contract.
I hope this series helps re-establish mid-range shots to the NBA, but what I most hope it does is usher in a new era of big-game panels because these guys are gawdawful and are a disservice to the sport, the moment and their employers -- and I excuse Malika Andrews because she's good.

One of the greatest things I have ever seen on television.
NBA TV brings TJ McConnell's Dad on during his interview, he says TJ is lying about being harder on him than his sister and it turns out he's a huge Isiah Thomas fan

Plouffe has been cashing in on being early with Obama for a decade. He's an absolute grifter.
Democratic campaigns need to start treating corporate shills like Plouffe as persona non grata. They weaken campaign messaging, erode public trust, and only view campaigns as grift exercises.

Gross, but Fanduel essentially funds the company, so it makes sense. Also taxation ≠ regulation.
They deleted it before I could get a proper screengrab so this’ll have to do.

All noted Jewish Historians, to be sure.
Two weeks ago, the Center for Jewish History hosted a controversial all-day event featuring Bill Ackman, Marty Peretz, Leon Wieseltier, Deborah Lipstadt, Steven Pinker, Eli Lake, Jamie Kirchick, and more. I was there; here's my write-up for @jewishcurrents.bsky.social
The End of the Marty Peretz Era
At a controversial event at the Center for Jewish History, Trump donor Bill Ackman held his own against an exhausted brand of liberalism.

You're right it might trigger a SAR but that does not necessarily make this a violative set of transactions.
friend of mine just sent me this, apparently someone is describing what those "receivers" are expected to do for gaza fundraiser accounts. they are wiring the funds in "rounds" under $1500 because there's a "problem" receiving a wire of more than $2000.
jesus christ.
